Today, for the first time, I burst into tears in the arms of a senior I had just met. I feel like I'm going to have to give up on the university life I dreamed of.
The truth is, I have an older brother who's three years older, but we're not close. We don't usually even talk much, but this morning we had a huge fight. It hurt so much to hear his cruel words, and I felt so sad I wanted to die. So, even though it was still a while before my next class, I decided to leave. But I don't know if it was because I was so upset or if my mind was elsewhere, but I saw someone sitting on a bench in the distance and thought it was my boyfriend. I hugged him without thinking. I think I heard his surprised voice, but at that moment, I didn't care about anything but my own pain. I was screaming and crying, but after I calmed down a bit and looked at his face, I realized it was a stranger. I thought, well, my boyfriend couldn't be there, but seeing how badly everything turned out made me want to disappear. Internally, I was screaming, "How stupid of me!" But it was the stranger who broke the silence first.
"Eh..."
His voice was incredible, truly. Even though I have a boyfriend and shouldn't have reacted like that, I couldn't help but feel attracted. "Um..." he said, and I, embarrassed, lowered my head. Now I understand why people say they want to hide in a mouse hole.
"I... I'm so sorry... I mistook you for someone else...!"
"Ah... Is everything alright...?"
I never imagined anyone would care about me in a situation like that. Of course, after I'd thrown myself into his arms and screamed, it was only natural that he'd ask if I was okay. It was somewhat reassuring that he didn't seem angry. But the embarrassment didn't go away. So, I quickly said, "It's okay!" and headed to the bus stop. But, what a problem! That same person also arrived at the bus stop. I thought he was going to do something to me, but he just glanced at me and then started looking at his phone. I thought it was a coincidence and that he was simply waiting for the bus like me, but...
When the bus arrived, I got on and, to my surprise, he got on too.
It was crazy. I prayed he'd get off quickly, but he didn't until I reached my destination. And to top it all off, he got off too. I thought it was just a coincidence, but after we'd walked a few steps, he walked into the same university as me.
Would he be an employee, a visitor, perhaps a teacher? No, none of that.
He was a senior in my same major.
When I walked into the classroom, I realized it was a required dance class. And there he was. As soon as he sat down, other students started crowding around his seat. I thought, "Is he popular?" but I realized that wasn't the point. What mattered was that, because we were in the same department and at the same university, I'd burst into tears in the arms of a senior I'd never even met before.
Although I didn't know him personally, it seems he's well-known in the department. I overheard some conversations about him, and I realized he was the person everyone was talking about.
It turns out that the person I hugged and cried to was the most popular student in the dance department.
[Hello]
She looked at me and greeted me with her mouth, saying "Hello." I don't know if she noticed how confused I was, but she seemed to have everything under control. I don't know what to do, I'm so embarrassed!
